Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2271

If you want to suppress and weaken the aristocratic family, you can only vigorously promote the imperial examination system, absorb a large number of poor students into the officialdom, become the social elite, the mainstay of the country, and stand against the aristocratic family.

With the continuous progress of the imperial examinations and the promotion of a large number of poor students, while weakening the aristocratic families, a new social class will be formed-landlords and gentry groups...

It's always like this in the world, when you think you have solved a problem, there is no other problem that is not less or even more serious.

There is never such a thing as a "perfect" solution.

"Tai Chi" is the greatest invention of Chinese culture, it perfectly interprets the ultimate form of the world - balance.

The sky has four seasons, the earth has yin and yang, people are divided into male and female, and there are good and evil in nature.

This world has always been mutually opposed and interdependent. As the saying goes, "a lonely yin does not grow, and a single yang does not grow." When everything is out of control and balance, everything will be destroyed.

His Majesty Li Er's method is very in line with the principles of heaven and earth. He suppressed the powerful, but never thought of eradicating them by the roots. He attached importance to the imperial examination, but he never hoped that all the children of the aristocratic families in the court would be replaced by students from poor families.The aristocratic family and the poor family are two swords, one is indispensable.

……

The two chatted casually about some affairs in the academy, and after finishing their official business, they sat in the reception area and chatted.

"I heard that Concubine Yang has issued a decree yesterday, giving the two daughters in the family a marriage gift?"

Fang Jun dug out a can of tea leaves from a side bookcase drawer, ordered someone to bring water to boil, made a pot of tea himself, and drank leisurely with Xu Jingzong.

Xu Jingzong glared at Fang Jun angrily, feeling very upset in his heart: "Isn't it a good thing you did? Originally, the old man had already negotiated with the Feng family in Lingnan, so he just had to choose a matchmaker to give the dowry on a certain day. Your meddling here caused Feng's family to think it was the old man who went back on his word, and two days ago, the old man came to the door to apologize in person, but was turned away."

Not just the Feng family?
Originally, he had already made an agreement with Qian Jiulong to choose a daughter to marry, but in the end he was abruptly mixed up by Fang Jun, and Qian Jiulong was so angry that he didn't know who dissuaded him afterwards. His Majesty the Second scolded him, but he didn't dare to confront Fang Jun, so he had to quiet down, but the enmity with Xu Jingzong was finally settled.

Although Qian Jiulong is a little older, but his status respects the luxury of his family, he is the founding father of the Tang Dynasty, and his daughter can be supported as the main wife after marrying, and he may inherit his "Duke Chao" after giving birth. Sir, how beautiful is this?
Fang Jun poured him tea, ignored his complaints, and said with a smile: "Your reputation is just that, with a big head, what's worse than this fist? General Xin Mao and Wang Xuance are both from poor families, but they are full of talent and character. Honest, it is really a rare good son-in-law, given time, he will surely soar into the sky, it is really hard to find with a lantern. The childhood sweethearts of X and Lingmei will only do them good, how can they harm them?"

Xu Jingzong was silent for a while, took a sip of tea silently, and nodded slowly.

He naturally also knows the truth of "Don't bully the young and poor". He has met General Xin Mao and Wang Xuance. Although he can't get on the stage right now, he is both intelligent and capable. Next.

only……

"It's very difficult for the children of a poor family to strive for the top and stand out! You and I will always support us all the way, and the setbacks and hardships we have encountered during the process are also indispensable. My daughter is spoiled and spoiled, I don't know if I can bear the hardship..."

Xu Jingzong sighed, with a worried look on his face.

Fang Jun was unexpected. It was widely rumored that Xu Jingzong married his daughter to receive a dowry, and once threatened that whoever gave the most dowry would marry him. Now it seems that he accepted a luxurious dowry, but for the sake of his daughter ?
Seeing Fang Jun's expression, Xu Jingzong knew what was going on in his heart, and immediately said angrily: "Tiger poison doesn't eat children. Of course, this old man can't be considered a rich man, but he can't be greedy for Mo's daughter's dowry, right?"

There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and then someone said: "Forcing the eldest son to be exiled to the South of the Five Ridges, he has no way to manage the family and is greedy for wealth. People like you can say such things as tiger poison but not food? Hehe, you really are extremely shameless!"

Xu Jingzong was furious, turned his head and shouted angrily: "Fart! This old man has never been ashamed of his actions, why should you wait for the traitors to be punished?"

Fang Jun looked up, it was Chu Suiliang...

His expression was rather unnatural.

Because he thought of an anecdote, which said that Xu Ang, the eldest son of Xu Jingzong, had an affair with him and married him. Later, when the incident happened, Xu Jingzong sent a letter to the emperor to dispatch him to Lingnan... At that time, no one else knew about it, but later for some reason It spread out, making Xu Jingzong lose face.

……

At this time, the scandal in the family must have not yet spread. The world only knows that Xu Jingzong exiled his eldest son to Lingnan for the crime of unfilial piety, but they don't know the details.

As a result, as soon as Chu Suiliang came in, he stabbed Xu Jingzong's sore...

This kind of thing must not be joked, it will kill people!
Fang Jun hurriedly stopped Xu Jingzong who was furious, and said to Chu Suiliang: "Chu Siye's words are wrong. It is difficult for an upright official to decide on family affairs. How can a gentleman be punished for his one-sided words?"

Chu Suiliang wasn't angry either, he was already full of anger, it was normal for the two of them to wear a pair of trousers to help Xu Jingzong scold him.

He entered the duty room, sat down on the chair, squinted at Xu Jingzong and said: "Above the history, loyalty and treachery are self-defense, whether it is famous for a lifetime or notorious for thousands of years, it has its own judgment."

Xu Jingzong sneered: "You'd better take care of yourself, you ungrateful person, if Wei Xuancheng hadn't been magnanimous at the beginning, you would have been reduced to the world's laughingstock, and you would have been dismissed by a gentleman!"

This is about the fact that Chu Suiliang secretly dedicated Wei Zheng's manuscript to His Majesty Li Er at the beginning. Although Wei Zheng expressed his understanding afterwards, Chu Suiliang's reputation plummeted because of this.

Who can not be on guard against such a person who betrays a friend as a step forward?

Chu Suiliang's face was ashen, but he was speechless to refute.

Fang Jun rubbed his forehead helplessly, the two probably had a grudge in their previous life, so they tried their best to stab each other in the weak spot, comparing each other with more ruthlessness...

Although I don't want to see Chu Suiliang, I don't want the two to pinch each other when they meet, otherwise how can there be a quiet life in the future?
Then he warned: "Both of you are the pillars of the court, and you must both have a place in the history. How can you ignore the name behind you? Please put aside your personal grievances and do what your majesty explained. It is the most important thing. In the future, if anyone meets each other and taunts, criticizes and scolds Huai Huai, causing the whole academy to jump up and down, don't blame me for being rude to him!"

In fact, these two people are indeed famous in history. Chu Suiliang has achieved immortality through calligraphy, and Lao Xu can be called "a generation of legends".

Why do you say that?

Because the official history before the "New Book of Tang", like "Hanshu", "Three Kingdoms", "Book of Jin"...even the "Old Tang Book" that also wrote about the Tang Dynasty, there is no "Biography of Traitors", the official history The appearance of "Biography of Treacherous Officials" began with the "New Book of Tang" compiled by Ouyang Xiu and Song Qi in the Northern Song Dynasty.

And Xu Jingzong, "gloriously" became the first treacherous official in the official history "Biography of Traitorous Officials"...

Ordinary people can never achieve this status, although it is the opposite.

In the past, Fang Jun believed in this deeply, not only the definition given to Xu Jingzong by history, but after he came to Tang Dynasty, he had several contacts with Xu Jingzong, and he also found that this person was old and cunning, narrow-minded, and he would retaliate, and he had everything necessary to be a treacherous minister. Prepare quality.

But slowly, Fang Jun discovered that it didn't seem to be the case...

What are Xu Jingzong's crimes?
In the third year of Xianheng, Xu Jingzong passed away. For a high-level official who was a prime minister and was a second-rank official who was buried with Taizong Zhaoling after his death, the imperial court must give a "posthumous title" and cover his life's work. conclusion.

Yuan Sigu, a doctor of Taichang, said: "Jing Zong was promoted by talent, and he has been in the ranks of the Qing Dynasty, but he abandoned his eldest son in the desert and married a young girl in Yiluo. Hearing the "Poetry" and learning the "Li" is the end of the court; Na Cai asked The name is only heard about the goods. Bai Guisi is dirty, there is a lot of dust, and the code of changing the name must be implemented. According to the posthumous law, "the name and the real are called absurd", please posthumously as "absurd."

"Famous and real" means that fame and actual character go against each other.

However, the three charges given by Yuan Sigu are actually debatable.

Xu Jingzong's original wife, Pei, died, and Pei's maid was beautiful. Xu Jingzong doted on her, so he married her and made her his second wife, with a false surname of Yu.It never occurred to him that Xu Ang also fell in love with Pei Shi, and he had been having an affair with her, so he had sex with her...
